Does anyone use a 'Ritter' Gigbag?

I saw them on Dillon's website, and saw the price was quite low... Would anybody care to comment on these?

Never seen the Tuba bags but am familiar with the guitar and trumpet bags which are excellent for the price. Build seems good and they have various pockets.

I think price stays low because they only make the 2 sizes - if your tuba fits either fairly well I'd go for it (then tell us your detailed experience!).
Good luck!

Pretty sparse on the padding...

The first repair to your horn because you bought the cheap gig bag will cost more than the expensive gig bag.

I recommend Cronkhite bags for your tuba. Dillon can order those for you too.

I bought one, but sent it back... mostly because my horn didn't fit well. It is about the level of quality as the old protec bag... new protecs are vastly better than Ritter for only a few bucks more. I like to buy cheap... but the Ritter is not quite "there" yet. They do look festive.
